Consider also the case of trying to match strerror() or perror() output,
which usually has different wording on different hosts... and libtool's
argv[0] mangling with `lt-' prefixes... and search path setting to pick
up uninstalled modules and/or configuration when run in the build tree...
In order that the suite ports easily to 'make check' and 'make installcheck',
the best way to handle such things maintainably is to use a wrapper script
for the binaries that are being tested. The scripts job is then to
canonicalise any of these cases that you care about. As an example CVS M4
has such a script in test/m4.
Cheers,
Gary.
